I would have to think that LSU is still the "class team" of the SEC West.
I think we tend to overestimate the importance of the QB. Not saying they aren't your most critical player and that a good QB is most often the key to an NC run. However, if Boeckman were to go down (knock on wood) would we abandon our title hopes?
You can run your O in a way that minimizes what you ask of the QB. It absolutely makes you less effective. But if you have a line and some RBs you can put together enough of a passing game with a respectable QB to compete without asking him to shoulder a disproportionates burden.
All provided of course you have one hell of a Defense.
